Donโt despair if your heart has been through a lot of trauma. Sometimes thatโs how beautiful hearts are remade: they are shattered first.
Yasmin MogahedIf you want to know what's Real, of love, of life, of loyalty, put it through the greatest test: Time.
Yasmin MogahedFor a wound to heal, you have to clean it out. Again, and again, and again. And this cleaning process stings. The cleaning of a wound hurts. Yes. Healing takes so much work. So much persistence. And so much patience. But every process has an end and an appointed term. Your healing will come... And like all created things, your worldly pain will die.
Yasmin MogahedThey say you don't get over someone until you find someone or something better. As humans, we don't deal well with emptiness. Any empty space must be filled. Immediately. The pain of emptiness is too strong. It compels the victim to fill that place. A single moment with that empty spot causes excruciating pain. That's why we run from distraction to distraction and from attachment to attachment.
